Cisco Unity Connection

Question

You need to configure Cisco Unity Connection in a cluster that will have four servers. One server will hold the publisher role. How many licenses do you need to configure Cisco Unity Connection successfully in a cluster?

Options

Explanation

A Cisco Unity Connection cluster supports exactly two nodes - a publisher and one subscriber - so only two server licenses are required regardless of how many servers are described.

Common mistakes.

A. A single license covers only one server and cannot support a cluster, which by definition requires at least two licensed nodes.
C. Three licenses are unnecessary because Unity Connection's maximum supported cluster size is two servers, leaving a third license with no node to assign it to.
D. Four licenses would imply a four-node cluster, which is not a supported or valid topology for Cisco Unity Connection.
E. Five licenses far exceed the two-server maximum for a Unity Connection cluster and have no valid use in this context.
F. Six licenses are completely outside the scope of Unity Connection clustering, which is strictly limited to two nodes.
